Climate Activists Vandalize Monet Painting in Protest.
Two Swedish women from the environmental activist group, Restore Wetlands, glued themselves to a Monet painting at the National Museum in Stockholm and smeared it with red paint to pressure the Swedish government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The painting, encased in glass, was on display as part of an exhibition, "The Garden – Six Centuries of Art and Nature." The museum condemned the action and is examining the artwork for damage. This is the latest artwork in a museum to be targeted by climate activists to draw attention to global warming.
